#The Janeway scene is fine but I'm nitpicky so I thought it'd be stronger if Seven choosing to regenerate was NOT an order

Dark Frontier should have had an ending scene where after Seven returned to the ship and she's self-conscious about having 'betrayed' Voyager and whether or not the crew trust her (they retrieved her on Janeway's orders but her orders don't always match the feelings of the crew itself), thinking of Tom's comment, thinking of what she was a part of, she stumbles upon B'Elanna. They're both working well past the time to do so. Seven tenses up because B'Elanna looks irritated but she just goes into business as usual about mistakes in Seven's work (probably because she needs to regenerate!) and how much time and energy it took to find her and Seven apologizes for the inconvenience (sarcastically) and B'Elanna accepts her apology then she smirks, staring at Seven. Seven looks unsure about what this means. B'Elanna reaches up and clasps her shoulder. "Good to have you back, Seven." she says. Upon Seven's nod of acknowledgement, she leaves, calling over her shoulder "Get some rest!" threatening that she'll be back in the morning with more corrections if she doesn't. Seven stares after her for a moment. She continues to work. She pauses. She turns around and gets onto her alcove, beginning to regenerate.
#The Janeway scene is fine but I'm nitpicky so I thought it'd be stronger if Seven choosing to regenerate was NOT an order#from a higher up but a recommendation from a friend (or something more~??)#ending it on a note of Seven taking another order from someone - the Benevolent Leader instead of the Bad Queen - is ehh to me#Having it be B'Elanna would 1) sort of show the audience that the whole crew - even B'Elanna! is glad Seven's back#2) Neatly tie up that earlier scene with B'Elanna where she thought Seven was a traitor showing her true colors#3) End that plotline of animosity between them to make way for more interesting dynamics#st voyager#st voy#B'Elanna Torres#Seven of Nine#B/7#not necessarily but in my heart? always yes#Also imagine you're Tactical officer Tuvok and Janeway's like 'Guess who the fuck we're gonna steal from~?????' I'd Q U I T!!!! EHEHE#The fact that Tuvok's just yes anding a Borg Heist no notes no questions is v funny to me - shame he had nothing really to do with the#episode though. It would have been so fun to have a scene where he Seven and Harry are talking strategy#<- Janeway is doing captain things and will be caught up later
